LADIES 
AND 
GENTLEMEN... 


Walt Disney Productions and 
the National Broadcasting Company 
are proud to present... 
the most magical, musical, colorful show 
ever to appear on an arena floor... 











Disney on Parade is something 
entirely new in arena entertainment. 
It’s an explosion of colors and sounds 
that transforms an ordinary arena 
floor into a wonderful world of fan- 
tasy and magic 

You'll see Mickey Mouse and 
friends Donald Duck, Pluto, and 
Goofy, the zany antics of a silly White 
Rabbit and a girl named Alice, the 
magnificent ballroom scene from 
Cinderella, parading wooden sol- 
diers, walking cards, Peter Pan and 
his rival Captain Hook, and Snow 
White and the Seven Dwarfs. 

The production, which first 
appeared in Chicago on Christmas 
Day, has been wildly applauded 
since it began its cross country and 
Canadian tour, and has set “smile 
records” in cities such as Pittsburgh, 
Syracuse, St. Louis, and Cleveland 

With the help of giant teacups, 
dancing flowers, bursting cannons, 
backfiring cars, acrobats, music, 
strobe lights, 500 beautiful costumes, 
and over 100 famous Disney charac- 
ters, the magical world of Disney will 
come to life right before your eyes. 
And it’s coming to the Southern Cali- 
fornia area this summer! 

Disney on Parade will be appear- 
ing at the International Sports Arena 
in San Diego from June at the 
Los Angeles Sports Arena from June 
10-28; and at the Anaheim Conven- 
tion Center starting July 1 for an 
extended run during the summer. %g

Walt Disney often dreamed of 
building a “living showcase” of the 
American free enterprise system, a 
showcase so dynamic and alive that 
it would probably be the most talked 
about project in the world. Today, 
this project is called Walt Disney 
World, and, by October, 1971, the 
first phase of it will be open to the 
public. 

“Phase One’ of Walt Disney World 
is a complete, theme-oriented, desti- 
nation vacation resort for the entire 
family. Built along the shores of a 
lake and lagoon 15 miles southwest 
of Orlando, Florida, this total world 
of recreation features not only a 
theme park similar in size and con- 


When “Phase One” opens in October, 1971, the Everglades State will possess a ‘theme- oriented vacation resort for the whole family. 


cept to Disneyland, but also three 
professional golf courses, endless 
waterways for boating, sailing, skiing, 
and recreational fishing, camp site 
accommodations, motels, and five 
“theme resort” hotels. 

The hotels are called ‘‘theme 
resorts’ because everything from 
interior decor to employees’ cos- 
tumes and dining room menus carry 
out an overall theme. The first of 
these to open, the 1057-room Con- 
temporary Resort Hotel, features a 
90-foot ceiling and a spectacular 
open-mall lobby longer than a foot- 
ball field. Silent, all-electric Walt 
Disney World-Alweg Monorail trains, 
on their way to the theme park and 





other hotels, will travel through its 
gigantic main tower lobby to the sta- 
tion inside. Shops, boutiques, cafes, 
and restaurants ring the mall, and 
atop the roof, a glass-walled pent- 
house restaurant and cocktail lounge 
overlooks Central Florida lake 
country. 

Other theme resort hotels in 
“Phase One” include the Polynesian, 
Venetian, Asian, and Persian. Each is 
a complete vacation complex with 
swimming pools, private beaches and 
docks, convention and sales meeting 
rooms, show lounges, and unique 
dining facilities. All will be inter-con- 
nected by a network of monorail 


trains, boats, and surface vehicles.

Disney World is well under way. Here, ae guests to and from each of the hotels, the 


work is being done on Cinderella's Castle. theme park, and Transportation Center. 


The $300 million ‘Vacation King- 
dom” is already $90 million past the 
dream stage. For example, pilings for 
the Contemporary Hotel are in place; 
the excavation of the 200 acre, man- 
made lagoon is complete; two of the 
18-hole, championship golf courses 
are under construction; forty miles 
of water control canals have been 
built; 55,000 trees and shrubs are 
growing in the Horticultural Center 
for later transplanting throughout the 
“Vacation Kingdom’; and the build- 
ings to house Main Street's quaint 
shops, arcades, and cafes are in the 
final stages of steel framing. 

The theme park for Walt Disney 
World features six realms: Main 
Street, Adventureland, Frontierland, 
Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and 
Liberty Square. 

Cinderella's Castle, a showpiece of 
French architecture with gold-crested 
spires soaring nearly 200 feet into the 
air, highlights Fantasyland. In addi- 
tion to forming the entrance to the 
magic land of fantasy, the castle also 
houses a dining facility. Visitors travel 
to the parapet-level restaurant on 
two of the six elevators in the castle, 


then dine beneath a stained glass 
dome in an atmosphere of old world 
royalty and grandeur. 

Tomorrowland features a fleet of 
Captain Nemo’s submarines that take 
guests on an undersea journey to the 
lost city of Atlantis, and Frontierland 
features “Thunder Mesa,” a spectac- 
ular panorama of the Old West. 

Among the new “Audio-Anima- 
tronic” attractions planned for Walt 
Disney World are the “Country Bear 
Band,’ ‘‘Mickey Mouse Revue,’’ 
“Western River Expedition,’ and 
“One Nation Under God.” 

The “Country Bear Band” is a foot- 
stompin’ country and western hoe- 
down starring the zaniest troupe of 
bears ever assembled. They sing, 
swing, and strum their guitars in the 
finest tradition of lively, western 
music, 

The “Mickey Mouse Revue” is an 
amusing visit with 60 of the famous 
characters from Walt Disney films. 
Mickey Mouse, Snow White and the 
Seven Dwarfs, and the Three Cabal- 
leros are some of the many charac- 
ters that appear on stage “in person” 
to sing the songs and play the music 
from popular Disney films. 

Frontierland’s ‘Western River Ex- 
pedition” is a musical parody of the 
wild, woolly West in which boat- 
riding explorers come face-to-face 


with cowboys and Indians on the 
grand scale of Disneyland’s ‘Pirates 
of the Caribbean.” 

“One Nation Under God,” located 
in Liberty Square, is an inspiring 
dramatization about the American 
Constitution and the 37 presidents 
who have led this nation. In the 
finale, the chief executives appear 
together on stage in the Hall of 
Presidents presentation. 

The Disney property in Florida en- 
compasses approximately 27,000 
acres — an area twice the size of Man- 
hattan Island, or about the same as 
the city and county of San Francisco. 
“Phase One” is scheduled to open 
next year, but that’s only the begin- 
ning. Also planned are an “airport of 
the future,” an industrial park de- 
signed to highlight American industry 
at work, and EPCOT — an Experimen- 
tal Prototype Community of 
Tomorrow. 

Like Disneyland, Walt Disney 
World will never be complete. Octo- 
ber, 1971, is just the beginning of a 
never-ending showcase of new ideas 
in entertainment, industry, and com- 
munity living.

Disney’s Educational Materials Company =< | 
makes teachers more popular than recess. : 


One of the longest-running battles on the face of the earth began with a simple sentence: ‘You've 


got to learn how to read.” It marked the beginning of formal education, that never-ending struggle < 
between the learned and the learner. 


Every civilization has tried to pass on something important to their children. The ancient Egyptians 
thought reading and writing most important; the Greeks, a well-rounded education; the Romans, 
the seven liberal arts; the Medievals, religion; and modern man, a little bit of everything. But no 
matter what they tried to teach, they all had the same problem: encouraging their children to learn 
Probably the only people ever exempted from the problem were cave men. 


su5 cen 
LS OBL 











The misty, beast-filled darkness 
that welcomed earth’s first man must 
have been a natural for education. It 
showed man and his children that 
they must learn how to hunt, kill, and 
defend themselves if they were to 
survive. People were interested in 
learning because their lives 
depended on it. With the advent of 
formal education, however, things 
changed. Peoples’ lives didn’t 
depend on their ability to read, and 
their hunger wasn’t satiated by writ- 
ing. Teachers might know the 
importance of education, but stu- 
dents didn’t, and, therefore, they had 
to be encouraged to study. It was at 
this point that punishment entered 
the picture. 

Punishment has been education’s 
bedfellow since the first student 
uttered the words, “Why do | have to 
study that dumb stuff?” Man discov- 
ered that, for some odd reason, a 
student finds an extra surge of vigor 
when threatened with punishment. 
Of course, sometimes this encourage- 
ment got carried to extremes. For 
example, some parents weren’t above 
beating their children with whips for 
not mastering the New England 
Primer, Today, though, punishment 
is taking more of a back seat. Man 
has found that a child’s interest is a 
far better motivator. 

According to Carl Nater, head of 
Walt Disney Educational Materials 
Company, “If you can get a student's 
attention — get him interested, you're 
halfway home. Once you have it, 
he'll be more likely to learn what 
you're trying to teach.’”

and easy to use. To load,

panes Donald learns that 





8mm Single Concept Films 
give teachers and students a 
front-row seat. Here, polar 
bears are seen romping in 





ow, a spider wasp 

ins deadly combat with a 
tarantula, and a bobcat 
voices a warning to an 
approaching foe. 


That’s the reason why Walt Disney 
formed the Educational Materials 
Company, to make education inter- 
esting and entertaining. For example, 
mathematics has never been the same 
since Donald Duck stumbled on to 
the screen in a world of numbers 
called “Mathmagic Land.” 

One of the more than 125 films 
listed in the Company's 16mm Edu- 
cational Films Catalog, Donald in 
Mathmagic Land is designed to create 
in students a new appreciation of the 
value and importance of mathematics 
in our daily lives 

Donald, the fearless hunter, finds 
himself in a strange forest of numbers 
where the trees have square roots, 
the birds have geometric shapes, and 
an odd-looking creature called a 
“pencil bird” leaves a trail of number 
footprints as he walks backward. 

Donald discovers that the octave in 
music has a ratio of two to one and 
that the musical scale of today devel- 
oped from this harmony in numbers. 
He learns why the Greeks admired 
the “golden rectangle” and consid- 
ered it to represent a mathematical 
law of beauty. 

He’s surprised to discover that 
practically all games are played on 
geometrical areas. For example, base- 
ball is played on a diamond; football, 
on a rectangle divided by yard lines. 
Basketball is a game of circles, 
spheres, and rectangles, and billiards 
is a game played on a field of two 
perfect squares using perfect spheres 
and a lot of diamonds. Even in chess, 
the moves are mathematical because 
the board is geometrical

The 26-minute film teaches the student an important lesson, that 
mathematics is truly the basic foundation of all the arts and sciences, 
yet it teaches in an entertaining way. 


“For too many years, anything that was considered to be ‘educa- 
tional’ just had to be pretty dull and deadly,’” remarks Nater, “but, 
to coin an expression, ‘times have changed.’ Today, the teacher has 
a vast array of audio-visual aids at her disposal, and, with minimal 
effort on her part, she can make the learning experience a pretty 
exciting thing.’”” 


In addition to its 16mm program, the Company also offers 8mm 
Single Concept Films, 35mm Film Strips, Study Prints, and Classroom 
Listening Experiences. All are designed with the same end in mind: 
to make education as interesting and entertaining as possible and to 
hold a student's attention 





Unlike the 16mm films, which cover a subject completely, the 8mm 
Single Concept Films give the teacher and student a chance to con- 
centrate on particulars. They eliminate the need to sit through a full- 
length film just to view a certain part. And, to make them easier to 
show, the films are mounted in a continuous loop within a cartridge 
or “cassette” and can be projected by a lightweight, portable projec- 
tor that needs no threading. 


The Company's 35mm Film Strips feature top animation and live 
action photography, as well as sound tracks containing full orches- 
tration, sound effects, and the performance of famous professional 
actors. All are in full color and cover such subjects as American 
history, literary classics, nature studies, and adventures in music. 


“Study Prints’ were developed primarily for the elementary grades. 
They are fully illustrated and deal with art, travel, and pedestrian, 
bicycle, and school safety. 


“Classroom Listening Experiences’ develop a child’s listening ability. 
Through interesting stories and music, a child learns to interpret 
what he hears, one of the first steps in the education process. 


According to Nater, “There’s no reason in the world why most of 
education cannot be accomplished in an entertaining manner.” If 
that’s true, then maybe we'll see the day when one of the world’s 
longest-running battles becomes nothing but a skirmish, and young 
people the world over will be so eager to learn that punishment 
won't even enter the picture. ¢ 


Study Prints are valuable teaching tools. They are 
beautifully illustrated and cover a variety of sub,

Walt Disney Studio’s new motion picture, 
The Boatniks, is dedicated to Sunday sailors 
everywhere — those fun-lovin’ individuals 
who, every weekend, grab picnic lunches, 
tackle boxes, wives, children, and neighbors 
and head down to the harbor. 

Filmed at Newport Harbor, one of the 
busiest small boat harbors in the world, it 
depicts how easy it is for weekend sea dogs 
to churn a quiet harbor into a wave-torn 
freeway. 

Into this scene of utter chaos comes an 
accident-prone ensign assigned to take 
command of the harbor’s Point Loma Coast 
Guard Cutter. His life, a series of bungling 
mishaps, proves to be no different in his 
new job. He spills paint on an attractive 
young proprietress of a boat rental service, 
is rescued more than he rescues, and is 
suspected of being a “Peeping Tom” by the 
station commander's wife. 

To add to his troubles, three jewel thieves

find all land exits to Mexico blocked by 
the police and decide to make it by sea 
from Newport Harbor. They cross paths 
with the young ensign so many times that 
he finally becomes suspicious, and the 
chase is on. The result is one of the largest 
traffic jams in the history of the sea, ending 
on the deck of the Dolce Vita, where New- 
port’s number one playboy is hosting a wild 
cocktail party. From there, the thieves make 
it to a seaplane via a two-man sub and acci-

effort to make the plane light enough to fly.

triumphant ensign, and Stefanie Powers is 
the young, paint-splattered proprietress 
who eventually falls in love with him. Phil

THIS YEAR, IT’S SUPER SUMMER 


Disneyland is celebrating its 15th 
Anniversary this year with a Super 
Summer—a summer filled with an 
exciting new look in entertainment. 

Appearing on the Tomorrowland 
Stage is a fast-paced, 45-minute musi- 
cal tour of the United States called 
“Show Me America.” Featuring an 
18-member cast and over 75 colorful 
costumes, the show will spin you 
through a wild, hectic tour of one of 
the world’s greatest tourist attractions 
—the U.S.A. 

On your way, you'll be introduced 
to a kooky cowboy, a disgruntled In- 
dian, a crooked, small-town politi- 
cian, a trio of hillbilly recording stars, 
and other comical American charac- 


ters. “Show Me America” is filled 
with song and dance numbers and 
comedy routines, and it appears Mon- 
day through Friday throughout the 
summer. 

Coca-Cola’s Tomorrowland Ter- 
race features an all-new rock show 
called “The Scene.” Complete with 
strobe lights, dancers, and Disney- 
land’s own “Sound Castle,” the show 
features a ‘‘new look” every time the 
group begins a set, as costumes and 
numbers are changed for each ap- 
pearance. ‘‘The Scene” appears 
Monday through Saturday. 

In addition, Harry James, Sammy 
Kaye, and Tex Beneke and the Mod- 
ernaires are just a few of the big 


bands that will be appearing nightly 
throughout the summer for your lis- 
tening and dancing pleasure in the 
“Fantasy Ballroom.” 

Of course, no Disneyland summer 
would be complete without Teddy 
Buckner, the Royal Street Bachelors, 
the Delta Ramblers, and the Young 
Tahitians, as well as a host of Disney 
characters and Disneyland’s many 
adventures and attractions. Even 
Tinker Bell will be on hand every 
night at 9:00 p.m. to fill the sky with 
bursts of fireworks. 

Join the fun at Disneyland during 
our 15th Anniversary summer. It’s 
going to be super! @

WEY..WHAT 


Time. Its passage has fascinated 
man since he first realized that night 
divides day. And, from the outset, he 
has tried to find ways to measure it. 

Today we've been spoiled by time- 
measuring mechanisms of remark- 
able accuracy. For example, modern 
atomic clocks define a single second 
as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of cesium 
atoms, and their precision is guaran- 
teed to within a few seconds for 
100,000 years. That’s even more accu- 
rate than an electric Mickey Mouse 
watch! 

But such exactness is a product of 
millenia. Early man enjoyed some- 
thing less. 





When shadows were short, our 
prehistoric ancestors knew it was 
near lunch time.

By Jim Conti 


Our prehistoric ancestors relied on 
Mother Nature’s timekeepers. The 
rotation of the earth provided the 
simplest and most obvious unit of 
measurement, the solar day. The sea- 
sons roughly indicated the length of 
the solar year. And lunar months — 
the periods between successive full 
moons — were used as an intermedi- 
ate measurement. They later became 
the basis of some of our earliest 
calendars. 

To estimate intervals of the day 
itself, man learned to measure 
shadows cast by trees. When shadows 
were short, “clock-watchers” knew 
it was near lunchtime. When shadows

shadows, sundials still depended on the

were long, the day was either begin- 
ning or ending. 

Using this same principle, man later 
developed the sundial. But, like the 
early tree-watchers, sundial users 
depended on Old Sol, and without 
him their “timepieces” were useless. 

Enter the water clock. And the 
hourglass. And the candle. 

The Chinese water clock, which 
was used 3000 years ago, measured 
the flow of liquids from one vessel to 
another. Hourglass watchers meas- 
ured the flow of sand—and some- 
times mercury —from container to 
container. And early Anglo-Saxons 
“told time’’ with marked candles, 








Hourglasses were accurate timepieces, 
but if you had to get to work on time 
in the morning, somebody'd have to 
“tend the clock.” 








noting the length of intervals between 
burnings from notch to notch. 


The first device which could be 
called a clock — at least as we know 
it — appeared in the 13th century. 
It had wheels, a dial, and an hour 
hand. And it may have been the only 
“simple” clock man ever made. 


During the last several centuries, 
clocks have exceeded mere utility, 
achieving distinction as art. European 
cabinetmakers, especially, have ex- 
celled in the creation of ornate cases 
— everything from elegant ‘‘grand- 
father” cabinets and church towers to 
sculptured metal and marble urns. 











Man soon tired of having just an 
ordinary, everyday clock. He wanted 
something he could show off to 

his friends. 


every 15 minutes. 


The clock which fronts Bank of Amer

The “curious” has found its way 
into clocklore, too. Today, man has 
armed his timepieces with sound: 
buzzers, bells, bongs — even wooden 
birds that “cuckoo.” 

But, certainly, no clock is so 
unusual as the one which fronts the 
entrance to Bank of America’s “It's 
A Small World” in Disneyland. Tow- 
ering 30 feet above the ground, this 
imaginative timepiece actually “per- 
forms” the time every 15 minutes. 
The spectacle begins as a frenzy of 
sounds and activity — gears, cogs, 
springs, and other clock parapherna- 
lia come to life. Drums roll, trumpets 
blare, doors open. And suddenly, 24

figures of internationally-costumed 
children—one for each hour—march 
forth in a gala “parade of toys.” Again 
the drums and trumpets sound. Tum- 
tah-dah. And, as correct-time buffs 
ready their watch stems, two jesters 
appear and strike the exact quarter- 
hour being signaled by colorful 
numerals in the doorway. 

Man has come a long way since his 
shadow-watching days. He no longer 
must run to the backyard to check 
the time —he carries it on his wrist. 
But progress has its price, too. Next 
time you're late for work, envy the 
shadow-watcher. His boss never 
knew the difference. @

NEW CONCEPT 
IN LIVE ENTERTAINMENT 


DISNEY ON PARADE, the happiest show ever to 
play arenas, is coming your way. Critics agree that 
it's family entertainment at its best. 

TIME MAGAZINE had this to say about the opening 

performance in Chicago .. 

“Naturally the show has everything. Dancers. Acrobats. 
Aerialists. A motorcycle act. Twenty trained dogs. Live 
music. Recorded music. More than 500 costumes, con- 
structed out of 3,000 yards of material, 892 Ibs. of beads 
and 3,000 miles of sequins and glitter. And MONEY: 
over $2,000,000 of it." 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE . 

The greatest show on earth isn't that circus anymore 
— it's DISNEY ON PARADE.” 

CHARLOTTE OBSERVER 
“It's a rare two hours of sweetness, and laughter, and 
light.” 

DETROIT NEWS . 

“Cinderella is acted out in a production number that 
even out-dazzles the lavish ice shows. The Dumbo Cir- 
cus is one of the biggest attractions of the show as 
aerialists, clowns and creatures of the jungle cavort. 
And, of course, Dumbo learns to fly.” 

PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE. . 

"You can do yourself two favors this week. You can see 
DISNEY ON PARADE and you can see it with a child, 
preferably one you love.” 

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH . 

“A crowd of 10,502 persons saw an enchanting con- 
glomeration of magical whimsey, fantasy and shrewd 
showmanship.” 

PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS . 

“They cheered the good guy (Mickey Mouse) and booed 
the bad guy (the dogcatcher who tried to impound Pluto), 
just like the kids of an older generation used to do at 
the Saturday matinee. For parents it was a nostalgic 
treat (even some of the cops on duty sneaked in for a 
glimpse of the show). For the kids, it was just a good 
time, a really good time.” 

OTTAWA, CANADA JOURNAL... 

"The first act wind-up is a spectacular Dumbo circus. 
Aerialists, tight-rope cyclists, dancing bears, jugglers, 
clowns, animals and assorted colorful characters vie for 
the attention and praise; it is an eye-filling sequence 
and the children and adults loved it.” 

NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA TIMES-HERALD .. 
“DISNEY ON PARADE is a new concept in entertai 
ment. It's not a variety show, it's not a Broadway extrava- 
ganza and it's not a three-ring circus — yet it includes 
a little of each of these, along with Saturday morning 
cartoon time and even a glimpse of Las Vegas chorus 
lines for the adults.” 








And, best of all... Magic Kingdom Club members 
get a special discount for the Anaheim and Los 
Angeles performances. Your Personnel, Recreation 
or Special Services office has detailed information 
regarding this extra value. 

It's a great show .. . don’t miss it!
